A biology class at the Governor's School in Innovation Park outside Manassas has been using molecular modeling software to teach its students about the chemical structures of medicines and other pharmaceuticals.

The Governor's School is a collaborative STEM initiative between Manassas, Manassas Park, and Prince William County public school systems. The school is also partnered with George Mason University and offers science, mathematics, engineering, research, and computer science courses for junior or senior high school students.

But even for these highly-intelligent students, some aspects of their studies can be challenging to grasp. One of those aspects, chemical structures, can be complicated even if it's being studied from a textbook.
